October 2018

It’s October. We’re all cheerfully pretending the stores aren’t
really stocking Advent Calendars already and that 10 weeks ‘til Christmas
sounds like plenty of time to get stuff done. Did that scare you? Good. Dust
off the cobwebs and break out your pumpkin spice. It’s Halloween!

It's Halloween;
everyone's entitled to one good scare…

It wouldn’t be Halloween without a few Horror stories, and
boy have we got some treats for you! Throw on your cut-up sheet, add some white
stage-makeup, and practice your groan. The first door you’re knocking on is
3
Corporate Training Tech Horror Stories and How to Avoid Them. After all, there’s
nothing quite like a good cringe story, that special kind of schadenfreude that
can only come from both pity and the joy of thinking “At least it didn’t happen
to me!”

A Frankenbook is organized neither for linear reading, nor
for random access. No matter where you land in it, you are in the middle of a
maze with buttons to move up, down, or sideways, but no means of finding the
end of any thread of narrative, great or small. Every page is page 297 and none
of them answer your question, or help you find a page that does.

Must Die.

Jinkies!

You might think your tiny grey cubicle is sucking the life
out of you… and you’d be right. Brace yourselves for
A Tech Writer’s
Halloween Tale. Warning: side effects may include shivers, fits, feeling
old, and side-eyeing your boss.
